A route with beautiful seascapes

Calpe.If indeed the toughest route of the series, the effort of climbing up to the municipal district of Pinos, at the feet of the Bernia Mountains, is rewarded with the magnificent views of the entire coast that we can enjoy from these heights, or with a nice lunch that we can relish at one of the local restaurants. The climb is made along a secondary asphalted motorway with no much traffic, which enables us to choose the best possible pace to our stamina. We can also make a stop at the cave paintings of Morro de la Francesa, found just a few meters off the road.
